concede

Esimerkkilauseet

Sometimes you have to concede defeat, however painful it may be.

I am also quite happy to concede that there are health, nutrition and social policy objectives here.

And we simply have to concede that they have been imported from outside.

put out

Esimerkkilauseet

It is all very well to put out fires, but it would be even better to prevent them breaking out.

abdicate

deposition

drop

Esimerkkilauseet

A drop in standards should not be allowed.

Despite satisfactory economic growth, the drop in unemployment is stagnating.

Any violations should be penalised by a drop in financial support.

I saw the value of my cattle drop to virtually nothing.

Conjuring tricks are performed: money appears and disappears at the drop of a hat.

resign

Esimerkkilauseet

Some resign themselves to this state of affairs, and others are delighted at it, but not us.

That of course does not mean that we must resign ourselves to it.

Faced with these, we democrats cannot resign ourselves to the peace of the dead.

Apartheid is only unchangeable if we resign ourselves to it and we must therefore not do so.

submit

Esimerkkilauseet

I will probably submit a text on this matter myself.

We can submit motions for this together with you.

I will not submit any further proposals on this matter.

Please submit to us a specific plan of action and a schedule.

Few citizens, however, are aware that they may submit a petition.

abandon

Esimerkkilauseet

But we must not abandon political responsibility.

We must, for example, abandon coeducation in some matters.

We have to abandon the emphasis on domestic action.

Both on ethical and scientific grounds, we must abandon cannibalism.

So we should maintain this balance here and certainly not abandon it.

accede

Esimerkkilauseet

Once the adaptation process has been completed they will be ready to accede.

accept

Esimerkkilauseet

I accept your beliefs, please accept mine.

However, the fact that we accept this strategy does not necessary mean that we accept all the detail.

We accept that, we accept the vitality and the vigour of the market.

I willingly accept your invitation.

I cannot accept that criticism.

accommodate

Esimerkkilauseet

It was uncommonly difficult to accommodate everyone.

I advocate a sufficient degree of flexibility to accommodate short - term economic conditions.

We must find ways in each case, as it arises, to accommodate both these principles.

For that too, a proper system will need to be developed to accommodate this.

Its borders are set not by how may countries want to join, but by how many countries it can accommodate.

accredit

acknowledge

Esimerkkilauseet

We all acknowledge the aim here.

We must acknowledge and actively support this.

Anyone who has eyes to see must acknowledge that.

We have to acknowledge the specific situation in certain countries.

It is therefore particularly apt to acknowledge three things in this debate.

acquiesce

adjourn

Esimerkkilauseet

-- We will now adjourn the vote and resume after the formal sitting.

We will now adjourn the debate since we must proceed to the vote, which will take a while.

adjust

Esimerkkilauseet

They will need to adjust their policies.

It is important to adjust the procedure for two reasons.

New developments and knowledge make it necessary to adjust the existing regulations.

It would also be more difficult to adjust fishing to actual stocks.

We must modernise the existing legislation and adapt and adjust it to a world of change.

admit

Esimerkkilauseet

You have to admit: this is a joke.

You must admit that it is surprising.

Any scientist will admit that this is true.

You must admit that this is going too far.

We must admit that this is a very delicate subject.

agree

Esimerkkilauseet

We all agree in our condemnation of intolerance and we also agree that we must look forward.

Let us at least agree on this objective, and if we do agree, then let us state how to achieve it.

As long as you agree with that, we shall agree with you.

I agree with your analysis.

I agree with this request.

allow

Esimerkkilauseet

We cannot allow this to continue.

Allow me one more closing comment.

Allow me to be more specific.

Allow me to give an explanation.

Nature simply will not allow it.

alter

Esimerkkilauseet

hat does not alter the outcome.

Entire families are being sacrificed on the asphalt alter.

That might alter the whole attitude and the possibilities.

It does not alter the general structures of the proposal.

We should alter the staff regulations and disciplinary procedures and, especially, change our practice.

append

Esimerkkilauseet

I therefore fail to see why you should append the position of one particular group to the letter.

assent

Esimerkkilauseet

Parliamentary assent is needed to all these things.

She has indicated general assent with most of these exclusions.

We must send out a positive political message by giving our assent.

It would be illogical if assent procedure were not applied in this case.

What we famously have agreed on, without formal assent, is how to get rid of the illegals.

assign

Esimerkkilauseet

Lacking a legal basis, it is clearly not possible to assign a specific budget line for sport.

avow

back up (, 1)

build

Esimerkkilauseet

We should build on existing competencies.

Let us build on that together.

It is trying to build a new future.

We cannot build up an expensive parallel structure.

The cheapest solution would be to build ourselves.

cede

combine

Esimerkkilauseet

It is not easy to combine those aims.

We have had to combine departments and offices.

So let us combine practical action with a desire for improvement.

We wish to combine economic efficiency, quality of life and social protection.

Europe will have a bright future if it can combine solidarity with reliability.

compose

confess

Esimerkkilauseet

I must confess a conflict of interest at the start.

I also confess to not quite understanding why animal welfare should crop up in this report.

connect

Esimerkkilauseet

We could also seek formulae so that we can connect to our own debates.

consent

Esimerkkilauseet

Cambodia's parliament has given its consent.

We hope that you will consent to it.

They are matters which require the consent of society.

There are even cases where the victims' consent is emphasized.

The individual should give his or her free consent to experiments.

construct

Esimerkkilauseet

We are quite certain that asbestos was not used to construct the building.

We construct a motorway at enormous cost but without creating an especially large number of jobs.

If we want builders who can construct energy - efficient buildings, we need to train them.

defer

Esimerkkilauseet

We do not need to defer it any longer.

We will therefore have to defer this experiment until the next plenary sitting.

Their future commitment depends on whether or not we are willing to defer.

It is not acceptable for them to ask us to defer our own regulations.

Unfortunately, however, we have now reached the point at which we can no longer defer this discussion.

delay

Esimerkkilauseet

The delay is unacceptable.

Parliament will not tolerate delay.

They must be implemented without delay.

We can delay this no longer.

So there is no reason to delay.

delay (, retarder)

desert

Esimerkkilauseet

25776 It had become desert land.

If they did not it would be a wilderness, a desert, chaos.

I am thinking particularly of areas where the desert is literally burying the productive land.

23632 This is equivalent to waiting for rain in the desert and then one drop falling every square kilometre.

draught

fall back (, 1)

forgo

forsake

give up

Esimerkkilauseet

We must give up this habitual way of thinking.

21421 Parliament cannot and will not give up its rights of codecision.

It can, nonetheless, be a painful process to give up dossiers on which one has been working.

It would be better to give up the idea of a directive rather than establish such a time limit.

Results to date are admittedly not too promising but we must not give up.

give way

Esimerkkilauseet

Another topic may simply have to give way.

In the end it is the theoretical expert who must give way to practice.

To confuse them would be to give way to populist rhetoric.

go backward (, 1)

grant

Esimerkkilauseet

To grant discharge is, when all is said and done, to grant a certificate of good management.

We shall therefore grant the discharge.

Germany has virtually ceased to grant asylum.

We refused to grant it any aid.

We are prepared to grant discharge under these conditions.

join

Esimerkkilauseet

14398 Turkey wanted to join and he felt that it should let them join earlier.

I join with other colleagues who have spoken.

No country has an absolutely guaranteed right to join.

So we must all join together to change it.

It is actually paying to join in this programme.

leave

Esimerkkilauseet

You will leave here today wiser and the only thing we would like is to leave more informed.

We challenged them and asked them to leave; we got the security people to ask them to leave.

I just leave that as a question mark.

We cannot leave it simply to governments.

We cannot leave them to struggle alone.

let oneself go

link together

link up

Esimerkkilauseet

That is why we propose a link - up with other programmes, e.
